Instructions
Meatballs
  • In a medium-sized pot, sauté the onion in 3 tbsp water until translucent on medium heat (add more water if necessary). Add in garlic and sauté for additional 2-3 minutes.
  • Add in lentils and 1.5 cup water. Bring to a boil then let simmer for 15-20 minutes (until liquid is absorbed and lentils are tender.)
  • In a separate skillet, sauté mushrooms in 3 tbsp water on medium heat for about 5 minutes.
  • Blend oats in a food processor (or a blender) to create oat flour.
  • To the food processor, add in the mushrooms, lentils, parsley, allspice, nutmeg, pepper, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce.
  • Process until everything is combined. Don't process until it's total mush - some texture from the lentils and mushrooms should still be there. 
  • Add more soy sauce (or salt) and pepper if needed.
  • Let the mixture sit for about 15 minutes. It will become thicker and easy to roll. 
  • Pre-heat oven to 425F degrees. 
  • Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • Roll into meatballs and place onto baking sheet. Spray with some cooking oil if desired. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway.
